About Daniel M.
Daniel M. Phillips practices law in both Texas and Oklahoma and is a member of the firm Sherwood, McCormick & Robert. He works across two state systems, advising clients on matters that involve state law in each jurisdiction. Colleagues describe him as steady and pragmatic in approach.
Phillips is admitted to practice in Texas and in Oklahoma. He completed the necessary legal training before taking those admissions and has since maintained an active presence in both bars. That dual admission shapes how he handles matters. He must consider different statutes and court procedures on a routine basis.
His career has been centered at Sherwood, McCormick & Robert, where he has handled a range of client matters. Much of his time is spent assessing legal problems that cross state lines, coordinating filings and deadlines that vary between jurisdictions. He works with clients that need counsel who understands how Texas and Oklahoma law diverge on key issues. That practical knowledge helps keep cases moving.
Phillips’ daily work involves advising clients, preparing legal filings, and coordinating with other lawyers when a matter requires representation in multiple courts. He spends time reviewing statutes and regulatory requirements that differ from county to county and state to state. He also communicates regularly with opposing counsel and court staff to move matters toward resolution.
People who work with him note his methodical pace. He tends to break complex problems into smaller tasks. That habit suits multi-jurisdictional matters, where small procedural errors can have outsized consequences. He aims for clarity in written work and prefers to present options plainly to clients.
Outside the office his professional activities keep him engaged in practical legal work rather than public advocacy. He has built professional relationships across the two-state region that inform how he coordinates on cases that require filings in both Texas and Oklahoma courts.
He currently practices at Sherwood, McCormick & Robert, where his work centers on matters arising under Texas and Oklahoma law.
